Steve

A fanfic no one asked for, a sprawling eulogy to a deceased robot that wears its fragile heart on its sleeve, a meme made by someone you can’t relate to.

Writer and performer Joshua Coates (founder member of Powder Keg) battles with the highs and lows of fandom and the consequences of being let down by what you look up to most.
